Preview
LiveScoresXATK Mohun Bagan arrive at SC Delhi's ground with a recent scoring pattern that strongly favours low totals. In their last five matches, four of the five finished with two or fewer goals — a 0–1 loss at NorthEast United on 12 October, a 1–0 win over East Bengal II on 8 October, a 0–0 draw with Minerva Punjab on 4 October, and a 1–1 draw with NorthEast United on 29 September. The exception was a 6–0 thrashing of Sreenidi Deccan on 23 September, but that came in the IFA Shield. Across their last ten matches on all venues, eight of the ten went under 2.5 goals.
Their away record reinforces this. Over 20 away games spanning 24 months, ATK Mohun Bagan have finished under 2.5 in 12 of those 20, and they average just 0.75 goals conceded per game away with 8 clean sheets in that stretch. Their away record of 9 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses also tells you this is a side that travels well and keeps games tight.
SC Delhi's home numbers paint a similar low-scoring picture. In 7 home games, four finished under 2.5 goals, and they average just 1 goal scored per game at home. Their last five matches on all venues produced only 4 goals for and 7 against, with two 0–0 draws. Their home record of 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses suggests a side that is difficult to beat at home but also one that struggles to find goals.
The counter-argument is that SC Delhi's last five matches on all venues saw three of the five go over 2.5 goals, and the only recent head-to-head meeting on 21 May ended 2–1 at ATK Mohun Bagan's ground — a total of three goals. However, that single meeting is dated, and SC Delhi's home results over 7 games are the more relevant comparison, and they lean under.
Key Points:
- ATK Mohun Bagan have finished under 2.5 in 8 of their last 10 matches and 12 of 20 away games
- SC Delhi's home record shows 4 of 7 games under 2.5, with just 1 goal scored per game
- ATK Mohun Bagan's last 5 matches produced 4 low-scoring results (0–1, 1–0, 0–0, 1–1)
- The only recent head-to-head meeting (2–1) is a single data point and does not override the broader pattern
- SC Delhi's last 5 matches on all venues yielded only 4 goals for and 7 against
Verdict: Under 2.5 goals at 1.98.
